Title: Biometric ocular measurements using deep learning
Inventor: ANGELOPOULOS ROBERT DIMITRI
IPC: G06V40/19
Filed: 2021-10-14
Abstract: A method for estimating biometric landmark dimensional measurements of a human eye includes, in a possible embodiment, receiving one or more images of the human eye via a host computer. In response to receiving the one or more images, the method includes generating a preliminary set of landmark point locations in the one or more images via the host computer using a deep-learning algorithm, and then refining the preliminary set of landmark point locations using a post-hoc processing routine of the host computer to thereby generate a final set of estimated landmark point locations. Additionally, the biometric landmark dimensional measurements are automatically generated via the host computer using the final set of estimated landmark point locations. A data set is then output that is inclusive of the set of estimated landmark point locations. A host computer that executes instructions from memory to perform the method.

Title: Wastewater ozone treatment
Inventor: PAPING LAMBERTUS LUDOVICUS MATHEUS JOSEPH
IPC: C02F1/72
Filed: 2021-08-31
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method for treating a wastewater stream, comprising the steps of: - introducing O 3  in the wastewater stream, thereby dissolving at least part of the O 3  in the wastewater stream; - optionally irradiating the wastewater stream with ionizing radiation; and - optionally contacting the wastewater stream with a heterogeneous catalyst. In case the ozone treatment is combined with a heterogeneous catalyst, the wastewater treatment can be more effective than with ozone treatment alone, depending on the type of impurities in the wastewater stream. The type of heterogeneous catalyst can be chosen depending on the source of the wastewater and the specific pollutants associated with such wastewater sources. Advantageously, the ozone required for this process can be generated by electrolysis of water. In the current energy market, hydrogen (H 2 ), which is also produced during electrolysis of water, is becoming increasingly important as a fuel, and therefore, increasing amounts of hydrogen are being produced, preferably using electricity generated using renewable resources. Therefore, oxygen (O 2 ) and ozone (O 3 ), which are produced alongside hydrogen during water electrolysis, and which are currently often discarded as an invaluable byproduct, can instead be used for wastewater treatment. Therefore, according to another aspect of the invention, there is also provided the use of O 2  and/or O 3  obtained by electrolysis of water for wastewater treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide having gradient element distribution and a preparation method therefor. According to the present invention, the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide having gradient element distribution is prepared by a step-by-step precipitation method. First, a zirconium-rich component is precipitated to form a crystal structure and a crystal grain stack structure which have high thermal stability, slow down the segregation of zirconium on a surface after high-temperature treatment, and reduce element migration among crystal grains; second, a cerium-rich component is precipitated to improve the cerium content of the surface layers of the crystal grains, improve the utilization rate of the cerium element, and improve the oxygen storage amount and the oxygen storage rate. The composite oxide prepared by the method has both high thermal stability and high oxygen storage performance, thus satisfying requirements of the long-time use of a catalyst containing a cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide for the thermal stability and oxygen storage performance of the cerium-zirconium-based composite oxide.
